Depuis les forêts himalayennes de son enfance jusqu’aux tribunes de l’ONU, Vandana Shiva offre pour la première fois le récit de son combat pour la vie et pour la Terre. Dans une écriture à la fois sensible et rebelle, elle revient sur près de cinquante années de lutte contre la déforestation et contre l’accaparement de l’eau et des semences. Défenseuse infatigable de l’autonomie alimentaire, des connaissances indigènes et de la démocratie directe, elle établit par ses actes et sa pensée les liens entre crise écologique, patriarcat et capitalisme. Lutte contre les OGM, catastrophe de Bhopal, mouvement Chipko : ces "Mémoires terrestres" nous font retraverser un demi-siècle de résistances planétaires en faveur de l’écologie et de la Terre-Mère. Par son destin hors du commun, la militante indienne incarne l’idée, aux côtés de tant d’autres, que les femmes sont « les véritables gardiennes des connaissances liées à la biodiversité ». Vandana Shiva s’impose ici comme une héritière des luttes menées par Gandhi et Rachel Carson (4e de couverture)

"Her great virtue as an advocate is that she is not a reductionist. Her awareness of the complex connections among economy and nature and culture preserves her from oversimplification. So does her understanding of the importance of diversity." -- Wendell Berry, from the forewordMotivated by agricultural devastation in her home country of India, Vandana Shiva became one of the world's most influential and highly acclaimed environmental and antiglobalization activists. Her groundbreaking research has exposed the destructive effects of monocultures and commercial agriculture and revealed the links between ecology, gender, and poverty.InThe Vandana Shiva Reader, Shiva assembles her most influential writings, combining trenchant critiques of the corporate monopolization of agriculture with a powerful defense of biodiversity and food democracy. Containing up-to-date data and a foreword by Wendell Berry, this essential collection demonstrates the full range of Shiva's research and activism, from her condemnation of commercial seed technology, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the international agriculture industry's dependence on fossil fuels, to her tireless documentation of the extensive human costs of ecological deterioration. This important volume illuminates Shiva's profound understanding of both the perils and potential of our interconnected world and calls on citizens of all nations to renew their commitment to love and care for soil, seeds, and people.
